Forgotten footnote—writer mentions the author but does not give enough information to find the original content Misinformer—writer purposefully provides inaccurate information making it impossible to find the original content Too-Perfect—writer forgets to use quotation marks indicating that he/she wrote the content by paraphrasing Resourceful—everything is cited—but no original work is included Perfect crime—writer cites correctly in some places but does not in other places
